What happens here

The video shows using an oscillating multi-tool to cut the remaining metal ring/nut that secures the basket strainer. Alternatively, if you do not have an oscillating tool, you can use a flathead screwdriver and a hammer to carefully chip away at the nut until it breaks. Once the nut is broken, the old basket strainer assembly, including the top flange, can be pushed up and removed from the sink opening. Ensure you wear safety glasses during this step to protect your eyes from debris.

Goal: Completely remove the old sink drain assembly
